Hamta Pass overview

The contrast of crossing over to the Lahaul-Spiti valley from the Kullu valley is the highlight of the trip. The Hamta pass trek uses the old shepherd route and even today while trekking over the Hamta pass you are sure to see shepherds on the move to find greener pastures. The trek starts from the absolutely lush green valleys of Kullu & Manali and even first timers can attempt this hike. Trekking over Hamta pass itself poses few challenges but there are some moderately challenging stages as well. Depending on the month you attempt this trek you might need to cross snow and rivers. The Hamta pass trek finishes in Chatru from where you would drive to Kaza after crossing the Kunzum pass.
